Travels continued through the 1990s as a touring performer and in the early 2000s as a web-based software developer and website designer in service to clients of SoftVoyage.

Todays interests include international theatre festivals and keeping up with friends and colleagues abroad.

'''Travel:''' Some people put pins on a map. I like this. Besides, I keep misplacing the map. I was a leader for tour groups to Israel and the (then) USSR in the 1980s. In the 1990s I was a touring performer and in the early 2000s, a part-time web designer for a small group of travel agencies and tour operators. I've been contributing off and on to various wiki projects with articles on theatre history, arts/culture and travel/food.

'''Other:''' Learning to be a Photographer.

'''Current''' Current research is in the field of interdisciplinary collaboration and designing interactive multimedial fiction formats; undertaking a Doctoral degree in the Creative Industries in Brisbane, Australia.

I have spent more of my life there than anywhere else. I have had the pleasure of seeing quite a bit of this amazing province because I was a touring actor in a childrens' theatre company where we did a six-month tour. We performed for schools all over the interior and as far north as the Alaskan panhandle. We even went to some communities with no roads, you had to fly in by float plane (packing set, props and costumes along!!).

Montreal was a great revelation the first time I went, but taking a road trip to the many smaller towns, especially down south, near the border to Vermont, you really see that mix of French and English heritage.

Friends of mine used to live in Las Vegas, I visited a few times and had the rare experience of what it is like to actually live in a suburb of Vegas. Since then all my trips have been the normal show/casino/convention type.
